Full description

The ROOF sits atop a hotel in Ciutat Vella, drawing visitors up by elevator for a rooftop terrace with sweeping views over the old town. The setting and view are the main draw, and groups often linger for an hour or more soaking it in.

Reviews are mixed, though, with several visitors — including some not staying at the hotel — noting a cool reception and inconsistent service. It's worth going for the view, with expectations set accordingly for a premium price point.

Reviews

The Roof. We were eight people who took the elevator up to the rooftop terrace to spend an hour enjoying their drinks and the beautiful view. The service was impeccable from start to finish. I will definitely return if similar occasions come up again in a sunny Barcelona.
